Would also be interested in Quarter Mile Time and 0 - 100 time (stock) if anyone knows and also how they would stack up against a stock family car (eg AU falcon). Any help would be much appreciated...

Had one of these as a work car prior to 2000.
Was used around Sydney a lot and back and fourth to the Central Coast here in NSW. Unlike a 94VR SS Series 2, the MX 6 and indeed a work 94 Prelude both could be driven at top speed without mechanical drama! Typically I recall 218 - 220kmh for the MX6.
Three times the damned SS left one stranded in the outback, piece of pottage! This one was an auto 4sp - don't blame me, wasn't my choice.
The MX 6 motor had a nice sound, and powerful acceleration, it's finish fine.
This MX 6 unit had full leather option, and at the time on-road - came in at $57K, a scary amount over the rest, nutty pricing.
It's suspension as standard sat relatively low, enabling the taking of corners quite nicely.
DO ensure you get, if they are still available - headlight and front fog protectors. Nose chips.
